BMKG History<\/strong><\/p>

The history of meteorological and geophysical observations in Indonesia began in 1841 when Dr. Onnen, who served as the Head of the Hospital in Bogor, initiated individual observations. This marked the inception of systematic meteorological and geophysical data collection in the Region. A significant development occurred in 1879 when a network of 74 rain gauges was established across the island of Java, further advancing meteorological observations in the area. However, the historical timeline took a turn during the Japanese occupation between 1942 and 1945. During this period, the meteorological and geophysical agency underwent a name change and became known as Kisho Kauso Kusho<\/em>, reflecting the influence of that era.After Indonesia’s proclamation of independence in 1945, the Jawatan Meteorologi dan Geofisika was established in Jakarta under the Ministry of Public Works and Power.\u00a0<\/p>

This marked a significant step towards the formalization of meteorological and geophysical activities in the newly independent nation. However, the institution faced changes in its administration during subsequent years. On July 21, 1947, it\u00a0 came under Dutch Government control, resulting in a name change to Meteorologisch en Geofisiche Dienst<\/em>. Subsequently, in 1949, it was reorganized as the Jawatan Meteorologi dan Geofisika<\/em> under the Department of Transportation and Public Works. In 1950, Indonesia achieved formal recognition on the global meteorological stage by becoming a member of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). With this milestone, and the Head of Jawatan Meteorologi dan Geofisika assumed the role of Permanent Representative of Indonesia with WMO, signifying the country’s commitment to international cooperation in meteorology and hydrology.In 1972, the institution underwent a significant transformation and was officially renamed the Center for Meteorology and Geophysics. At that time, it operates as an echelon II level agency under the Department of Transportation. By 1980, regcognizing its growing importance and expanding role, the institution\u2019s status was elevated to an echelon I level agency, namely, Agency for Meteorology and Geophysics, all while remaining under the purview of the Department of Transportation.<\/p>

However, a pivotal change occurred in 2002. Presidential Decrees Number 46 and 48 of 2002 brought about a restructuring of its organizational framework. The institution transitioned into a Non-Departmental Government Institution (LPND) with the permanent name of the Agency for Meteorology and Geophysics. This transformation marked a significant milestone in its evolution, positioning it for a more autonomous and specialized role in fulfilling its mission.<\/p>

Continuing its journey of transformation and evolution, the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency underwent a pivotal change through Presidential Decree No. 61 of 2008. With this decree, the institution officially adopted the name Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) while retaining its permanent status as a Non-Departmental Government Institution. This change laid the foundation for BMKG to expand its scope and enhance its capabilities. Subsequently, on October 1, 2009, a landmark moment arrived with the passage of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 31 of 2009 concerning Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics. This law, enacted under the leadership of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, solidified BMKG’s pivotal role and responsibilities in the domains of meteorology, climatology, and geophysics within the Republic of Indonesia.<\/p>

BMKG is led by a Head whose office is located at the BMKG Headquarters in Jakarta. The head is supported by an Executive Secretary and four Deputies, each overseeing specific domains, including Meteorology, Climatology, Geophysics and Instrumentation, Calibration, Engineering, and Communication Networks. Additionally, there are Head of Centres and Bureaus who play crucial roles in the institution\u2019s operations. BMKG operates through five Regional Offices strategically located in Medan, Ciputat, Denpasar, Makassar, and Jayapura. Each of these Regional Offices is headed by the Head of the Regional Office responsible for coordinating operations and services in their respective regions. The institution’s reach spans the entire archipelago, with a network of 198 meteorological, climatological, and geophysical stations spread across Indonesia. Among these stations, one is designated as Global Atmospheric Watch Stations (GAW) and two others as the Atmospheric Watch Station. These stations collectively observe the weather, climate, and geophysics parameters and provide a wide array of services, including weather forecasting and early warning, climate monitoring and projection, earthquake information, tsunami early warning, and other geophysical data and information services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        In 2020, BMKG took a significant step to expand its contribution to the WMO, with a particular focus on satellite-related matters. Encouraged by the WMO Space Program from WMO Space Program and WMO Education and Training Office, BMKG initiated the process of becoming an official Centre of Excellence of Virtual Laboratory for Meteorological Satellite Education and Training (VLab CoE). This strategic move involved close partnerships with the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) as the satellite operator as well as with the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Australia VLab CoE to provide the education and training program to promote the utilization of satellite data and operations in RA-II and RA-V.<\/p>

        BMKG\u2019s involvement in VLab program and related activities should consider the support to Regional Focus Group Discussion (RFG) conducted by Australia VLab CoE. BMKG staff contributed in this monthly discussion since 2013, as presenters and participants. Besides, it also needed to be mentioned is the involvement in Conceptual Model for Southern Hemisphere Project \u2013 Phase II in 2014 to 2015, under the support of WMO and EUMETSAT. In collaboration with BoM Australia, BMKG developed an online learning module of Northernly Cold Surge (NCS).<\/p>

        <\/p>

        Further, in June 2023, jointly collaborated with NOAA USA, BMKG conducted the Online Course on Satellite-derived and Its Implementation in IBF and Warning Services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
